SP’s chief spokesperson Rajendra Chaudhary, who is also present at the place, told PTI, “So far, no person has met us here (at the UP police headquarters). SP’s national president Akhilesh Yadav is at the UP Police Headquarters. We are trying to ascertain the reason for which SP worker Manish Jagan Agarwal has been arrested.” The party termed the arrest of Agarwal as “condemnable” and “shameful”, demanding he be released immediately.
